Devils Hoist The Stanley Cup

If the Devils indeed close with 100 points, they will most assuredly be playing hockey in the big dance, and probably hosting as well. As we all know, anything can happen in the playoffs.

The Devils are a solid team with strong special teams and depth. Showtime Taylor Hall and Cory Schneider already proved themselves in last year’s playoffs with six points and a .950% save percentage, respectively. Why not the Devils? It may seem crazy now, but remember, the recipe for prophecy does call for a pinch of delusion.
